| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Aza-cycloisodityrosine-, conformationally constrained side chain-bridged-, and fluorinated cycloisodityrosine analogues of RA-VII, a Rubia plant-origin antitumor cyclic peptide, were synthesized to improve the water solubility and explore the pharmacophore of RA-VII. The results indicated that the orientation of the aromatic rings of the cycloisodityrosine moiety is important to express the cytotoxic activity and increase of the electron density of those aromatic rings decreases the activity. A new dimeric RA-series peptide was isolated from R. cordifolia, whose structure gave us some information about the biosynthesis of this series of peptides. In addition, sixteen new compounds were isolated from Stemona tuberosa and Eurycoma longifolia to develop chemical library for the screening assay.
